Mercier Goes Bet-Bet-Bet
Level 11
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Phil Ivey made it 10,000 on the button and Jason Mercier countered with a three-bet to 37,000 out of the small blind. Ivey called.
Mercier bet 28,000 on the 
flop and Ivey called again.
The 
fell on the turn and Mercier barrelled for 87,000. Ivey matched the bid again.
They made it to the 
river where Mercier bombed a 238,000-bet. Ivey tanked for a couple of minutes.
"How much do you have back?" Ivey asked Mercier, who leant back to allow a view of his stack, but he didn't say a word.
Ivey eventually threw his cards away and Mercier dragged the pot without exposing his hole cards.
